Odd Job Ollie: Starting Out by David Heulfryn

Ollie has been offered an apprenticeship with Cockaigne Construction. His father works at the same company and put in a recommendation for his son, but Ollie is not sure he wants to take it. He’s been thinking long and hard about what he wants to do. Ollie has decided to go it alone and start his own business. But this will disappoint his father.

Splash For Cash by David Heulfryn

It’s coming up to Brad’s birthday, and his parents won’t get him what he wants. He becomes moody, but then comes up with an idea for making money so he can buy it himself. His best friend isn’t convinced it’s a good idea. Brad manages to keep it from the teachers at Cockaigne Academy until the last day, when he is summoned to the headmaster’s office. But even a dressing down from Mr Price doesn’t put him off.

Finally Verified That I’m Over Eighteen

On the 25th July 2025, the UK’s Online Safety Act 2025 came into force. This meant that platforms have a legal duty to protect children online. Platforms are now required to use highly effective age assurance to prevent children from accessing pornography, or content which encourages self-harm, suicide or eating disorder content.

Basically, from that date, I could no longer see a cock on Twitter (or X if you prefer). I changed my location to the US in the settings, and that fixed it for a few days. Then they got wise to that and must have used my IP location to restrict me again. So, no more cocks again. Then I used my VPN, and that did the trick. But I had to keep my location as the US.

Despite the FAQ on how to verify your age to view restricted content, I couldn’t find any instructions to do so, unless I wanted to pay for a premium account. I didn’t.
Now, after many tries and using my driving licence and a selfie, I have finally verified that I am over eighteen, by many years.

So I can now see cocks galore again! Hurray!

Is A Week A Long Time?

I’ve been very busy lately. Yes, with my day job, but also with my writing. I hope you saw the teaser for my new series ‘Odd Job Ollie’. I’m enjoying writing it, and Ollie is certainly given some odd jobs. The writing of the series will come to a close shortly, and then I’ll be going back to edit the many chapters I have written. After the main story concludes, I hope to return to Ollie’s story and write more about the Odd Jobs he gets up to as standalone stories. So, if you have any odd jobs for him, email oddjobollie@explorecockaigne.uk or click his advert below to be directed to the story page where you can leave a comment with your odd jobs, and it might be turned into a story.

This post, however, is about the gap between posting chapters or stories. Is a week a long time to wait for the next chapter? Or would you like a mid-week update? When I start posting the new series, I will definitely be trying to deliver two chapters a week.

Do you like the wait to find out what happens? Does it make reading more exciting? Is anticipation half the fun, and so you spend the week waiting for the next chapter, wondering what the characters might get up to next?
